Two people fall in love, decide to spend their lives together, find an officiant, stand under a Chuppah to take their vows — and then celebrate their joy.

Except in Israel, it’s not that simple.

You are cordially invited to a very special Triple Wedding; a celebration not only of love and commitment but of the equality of all Jews.

In Temple Emanu-El’s historic sanctuary, prominent rabbis representing Judaism’s different movements will join in matrimony three Israeli couples who are deprived of the right to marry at home because they are not considered to be Jews according to Israel’s chief rabbinate, because they are gay, or because they reject the rabbinate’s rigid control over Jewish marriages and divorces. Join us to support these couples and the cause of religious freedom and equal rights in Israel. The roar of Mazel Tov will be heard around the world.

Special remarks by Anat Hoffman, Executive Director of the Israel Religious Action Center and Director and Founding Member of Women of the Wall.
